Can two partly matching offers be combined into one TN job description?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Only describe a genuine arrangement. Incompatible terms from different offers should not be merged into a fictional case.

Assess each complete role

Identify the actual employer, duties and qualifications for each option. The comparison should show unresolved requirements rather than manufacture a stronger offer.

A qualifying licence or degree addresses credentials, while the proposed activities and employment arrangement remain distinct requirements. For TN, establish Canadian or Mexican citizenship, a listed professional role, the matching qualifications, a real prearranged engagement, and a temporary purpose. The record that usually settles the issue is the signed employer description read beside the exact credential evidence, not the title, a résumé, or an informal assurance. Gather the diploma, complete transcript, evaluation, licence evidence where required, and a detailed employer letter before choosing between a Canadian port-of-entry request and an employer-filed Form I-129. Have the employer letter and supporting documentation complete well before the planned entry, since presenting the case clearly at the moment of entry matters more here than where a visa application is handled in advance.
